HCS considering total re-organisation?

The proposed changes to the HCS Army could just be part of the biggest re-organisation to the HCS since its inception. DDS sources have discovered that the HCS are planning to re-organise around 3 new arms which would have a mixture of land, air, sea and space assets depending on their role and needs.
  • Tactical Forces would include the majority of army, air force and naval units and would be intended to defend HCS territory and provide forces to support and hold operations to gain new territory.
  • Strategic Forces would include the Gale ICBMs, CSMs plus delivery systems including the Kelsan KS bombers and the future SSBNs. This arm's role would be to strike against an enemy outside of the HCS.
  • Space Forces would include the bulk of the Space Navy but also space marines and other amphibious troops. This arm would be responsible for any space operations and empire logistics.
The HCS are still working on this proposal and if carried out it would be done simultaneously with the plan to reduce the size of the army and form local territorial units. These would remain outside of the HCS though would be available to use by the HCS if needs be. It is thought Oojok will be presented with the full plan sometime this month though a decision either way is not expected for a while.
